    1 Bowl Chocolate Tahini Cookies. Amazing Texture and flavor in these Easy Cookies. 8 Ingredients. 20 Mins. #Vegan #Oilfree #Glutenfree #Grainfree #Nutfree #Recipe #VeganRicha

    What to expect from these double chocolate tahini cookies? These are not your regular chocolate cookies. I know this because hubbs came home, saw them, picked one up to take a big bite, then you should have seen his face. Then he looked at the cookie as if to ask what the heck is going on. But the texture was too good, so he took another bite, then another and then he was like what are these! I love the damn texture, so melt in the mouth! And the bitter flavor is growing on me. Soon the batch was all gone before I could even explain.

    These are like peanut butter cookies which are just peanut butter and sweetener. If you dislike peanut butter, you might not like pb cookies. Similarly, you might find the mellow tahini flavor intrusive here. Its a balanced tahini chocolate flavor. You can use tahini + nut butter for less tahini profile. The added coconut and a sprinkle of salt on top (thank you Lucy!) helps reduce the flavor too.

    Author: Vegan Richa

    Ingredients

    • 1/2 cup (120 g) tahini stirred
    • 1/3 cup (53.33 g) coconut sugar or other fine sugar of choice
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) vanilla extract
    • 2 tbsp non dairy milk room temperature
    • 3 tbsp cocoa powder
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) baking powder
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt
    • 1.5 tbsp coconut flour (see notes for subs)
    • 1 tbsp tapioca starch or other starch
    • 1/4 cup (45 g) mini chocolate chips

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350 deg F (180 C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Mix the tahini, sugar, vanilla, non-dairy milk until well combined. Do not over mix as the tahini will seize into a stiff mixture. 
    • Add the rest of the ingredients and mix gently. (You can also add in 1/4 cup shredded coconut at this point). Add in the chocolate chips and fold in.
    • Shape into flattened cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press a few chocolate chips on the top if needed. (You can also sprinkle some maldon salt on top and press in. Salt helps reduce the bitter profile).
    • Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 mins** Cool for 2 mins then remove from the baking sheet and allow to cool down completely before serving.

    Notes

    ** Adjust the baking time depending on preferred texture.  A minute or so longer for crispier. Keep the cookies thicker for shortbread like texture. Thinner for crispier. 
     
    Coconut flour and starch sub: If you can eat gluten, sub all purpose or wheat flours for either or both of coconut flour and tapioca starch. you will need 3 to 4 tbsp. 
    Nutrition is for 1 Cookie.

      Do you think I could use black tahini in these cookies? I have a whole jar and am trying to find ways to use it.

        Yes, black tahini can be used in this recipe. The cookies will have more toasty and slightly bitter flavor. Enjoy!

      These are one of the best vegan cookies I’ve ever had. They amaze even my non vegan friends. They are very rich almost brownie/fudge like but have a nice cookie texture somewhat like old fashioned peanut butter cookies. I like to add chopped walnuts instead of coconut as an option. The walnut really balance the flavors well.

      I used tahini in my cookie recipe one time and was blown away by the texture like you describe here.
      They come out like subway cookies but Better.i found adding a tad more salt and sugar took away the bitterness if you really don’t like tahini

      Although it didn’t make a lot of cookies and the mixture was quite wet , but when we tasted them…WOW. Next time I’ll double the recipe. I used normal plain flour but everything else was as the recipe. My oven is fan forced so they were crispy on the edges. Next time I’ll bake for 8 minutes. Thanks for this recipe, my husband is onto his third one already.

        Coconut flour absorbs a lot more moisture so you would need a bit more regular flour depending on the overall moisture from the tahini etc. glad they turned out amazing!

      I tried some limited edition Tahini chocolate bars from hotel Chocolat a couple of year’s ago and i’ve been chasing the flavour ever since. I even rang hotel themselves demanding more!!! These are it!! Made them with high quality tahini, cocoa and 80% dark callets and they are nothing short of outstanding, probably the best flavour combination for chocolate in the world. Followed the recipe exactly. Thank you very much indeed.

      I was not able to form this mix into cookies, it was too wet and sticky. I tried adding 2 more tablespoons of coconut flour, and 2 tablespoons of gluten free flour, and 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed, but still wasn’t a cookie consistency. I cook it as a brownie in a greased and lined tin for 25 minutes. Awesome. Delicious. Will make again.

      Hi Richa
      I just made these. My mouth was bored this afternoon and my laptop was open on your website as I had made your kidney bean peanut butter meal for lunch. (Another plate of yumminess!)
      I only made these because I saw the time investment was not low and I had the ingredients on hand.
      In reading through the comments, I saw one of your readers used carob, and as it’s an ingredient in my pantry which I have neglected, I decided to try that instead of the cacao. I used up half the dough, then added in dehydrated coconut to the remaining dough.
      They came out perfect! Whilst I love baking your cookies, I don’t eat too many of them – I’m more of a savoury girl. I had two of these. In quick succession. That should tell you how much I liked the end product!
      PS I had to add in more almond milk to get the dough to come together.
      Thank you Richa. Another winner!
      PPS I have both your books and have made so many recipes from them both but this lockdown has given me more time and also forced me to get creative and make good use of the ingredients I have in the pantry. I have so many Indian spices in my pantry, I could run a small restaurant from home 🙂
      Last note: I had tapioca flour and decided to opt for maizena instead as you said “starch” and not “flour” in the recipe. Was that the right decision, or would tapioca flour do as well?

I didn’t have any chocolate chips but they’re perfect even without. The coconut was a lovely addition too. Thank you for sharing this recipe.

        I can’t describe this cookies’ taste but it is soooo good!!!

        I used coconut milk and a little bit of peanut butter too. My tahini was kinda heavy/dense (I bought where I live, in Brazil. Idk how it is in other countries) so I had to add some coconut oil and I used half the amount of flour/starch that is in the recipe. I didn’t put chocolate chips but tasted awesome anyways.

        Thanks for the recipe, Richa!

      These are amazing (probably the best cookies I’ve ever had)! I’ve made the original ones (with less sugar) and some with peanut butter and without cocao for a party. Just tested some with hemp protein powder and they turned out great as well. The only downside is that I just can’t stop eating them!

      I just made these & so yummy!(: I have become obsessed with tahini..it goes with anything. I love trader joes brand.
      I didnt have chocolate chips so didnt use but I topped with some with shredded coconut, some sesame seeds, and some sea salt, and some with cacao nibs! I like crunchy cookies so cooked longer and thinner, these rolled out nicely and cut into hearts. thank you Richa!!!! lots of love

      Love these so much! Just curious what other starches can replace the tapioca starch. Would arrow root work? Thanks!

      Hi, Richa! My girls switched to a school with a no nut policy, so thank you for posting these. I like to make healthy (with decent protein) cookies, to stick in their lunch boxes, so I have been perplexed with how to do this without nuts, especially since they don’t like sunflower butter. You gave me a delicious answer to my problem with this recipe! At pick up today, my girls told me today, “Those were yummy! Can we have another when we get home?”

      Thank you!

      I had some Soom brand chocolate tahini leftover so I used that plus regular tahini and other slight modifications and these were some of the best “limited edition” cookies I’ve made. Thank you for all your wonderful recipes💗

      These are great! I like them with the optional shredded coconut.
      For the people who find the tahini a little much, consider sprinkling a little flakey sea salt like Malcom or or fleur du sel on the cookies when they are still warm out of the oven. I think Claire Ptak wrote in her Violet Bakery cookbook that reaching for an extra pinch or two of salt (instead of more sweetener) makes bitter flavours less pronounced and more pleasing. It’s a trick I use often and it works!
      (But I also agree with the tip to just eat more of the cookies! 😆)

        Sorry, that should be Maldon, not Malcom.

      I made these with swerve brown sugar and carob powder instead of chocolate powder. Unbelievable.

      I made these yesterday, and they turned out well. I do love tahini, but the tahini flavor was a little too strong for me. I used raw tahini from the bulk section. Is there a kind or brand you would recommend? Do you think the recipe would work if I substitute half almond or other nut butter? Thanks! Love your blog and cookbooks!

        these are like nut butter cookies. where they are basically nut butter and sweetener. So there willbe a tahini flavor profile. But it mellows after the first 2-3 bites to a more pleasing base with more chocolate notes. You have to eat more to like them more, if that makes sense 🙂
        You can add half nutbutter and also ad some flour to reduce the overall flavor.

      Any subs for the coconut flour? More tapioca, whole wheat pastry flour?

          Do you still need the tapioca if you use wheat flour instead of coconut flour?

      Is the coconut flour amount correct? It seems like there needs to be more dry ingredients?

        its correct. Its like a peanut butter cookie where nut butter would be the main ingredient. Tahini is more flowy, so it needs a bit of flour so the cookies can be shaped.
